Perfect Close Grip Push-Up Technique

The close grip push-up is a challenging variation that primarily targets the triceps while engaging the chest and shoulders. ChAIron's AI coaching ensures every rep builds maximum results with perfect form.

Step-by-Step Form Guide

  1. Setup: Place hands close together, forming diamond shape with thumbs and index fingers
  2. Position: Maintain straight line from head to heels, core engaged
  3. Descent: Lower chest toward hands, keeping elbows close to body
  4. Push: Drive through palms to return to starting position
  5. Control: Maintain rigid body alignment throughout movement

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Placing hands too far apart (reduces tricep focus)
  • Allowing elbows to flare out excessively
  • Sagging hips or arching back
  • Not achieving full range of motion
  • Rushing through the movement
